Guerilla Lighting

On Wednesday the 14th the Technicians of the Philip Sherlock Centre on the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies put on a light show.

The chapel as it normally looks

I was only able to capture the Mona Chapel when it was lit and the Aqueduct.  However as it was getting late and due to some technical issues I missed the lighting of the aqueduct but took some shots anyway.   Enjoy.

Downtown Kingston, A different perspective

South of Cross Roads and west of  South Camp Road is the area more generally referred to as "Down Town".   A part of this area along the waterfront and north to North Street forms a almost uniform grid.  A bird's eye view reveals the dormant structures, and a potential lost. 

Ironically, even with all the "desolation" downtown remains a central hub in this land we love.  There are several corporate headquarters, Government ministries and offices, and cultural interests nestled in the grid-like conundrum that we simply call "Down Town".  

Looking north west towards Cooper's Hill.  In the middle is the Supreme Court and parking complex.  To the right of which you can see the steeple of the Kingston Parish Church,  St. William Grant Park and The Ward Theatre.

Looking north along Duke Street, in the distance lies New Kingston

Looking north along Duke Street and John's lane to Stony Hill.
